    White horse lake

    Fabulous campground! The unpaved road coming in is a bit wash board but all in all not too bad. Very well kept up campsights and grounds by camp hosts and they are very visible throughout the day. Fun little food truck that serves burgers, hot dogs, pizza, ice cream and caramel corn (which was delicious)over by the entrance that also rents kayaks and paddle boards. We were able to e-bike on fun roads and our grandkids loved the near by trails for dirt bikes. Bring fire wood and water.

    This campground was a nice getaway for me during the COVID-19 summer. It's a beautiful area about 20 miles southeast of Williams in the Kaibab National Forest. White Horse Lake has more than 90 single unit campsites, some double sites and a large group site. Half of these sites can be booked online with the other half being first-come, first serve. Each site has a clear gravel area for your tent, tables and a campfire ring. The campsites are situated around the lake with ponderosa trees all around. Amenities include water spickets and bathrooms that are a short walking distance from each site. The lake itself is a popular spot for fishing as it is stocked with rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. There's a small ramp for boats and a local company on site that rents out kayaks during the day. If you like to hike, I recommend the nearby Sycamore Rim Trail. You get some great views of the canyon and it is a pretty easy trail to hike.

    We love this campground near Williams. Very nice camp spots, paved loop roads, graded tent areas, plenty of pine trees, water sources, clean bathroom facilities, a snack shop and a cool little lakes with many trails to hike. Perfect to bring a family. Almost every campsite has shade or you can hang tarps or put up a shade tent. The tent pads are neatly graded and comfortable to sleep in a tent without a pad or mattress. Picnic tables and fire rings. Check local conditions as right now no fire is allowed. Lake has black crappie and largemouth bass but water levels are dictated by snow melt and rain. Swimming is not allowed but there are paddle boards and kayaks available to rent. Small boats are allowed with trolling motors. There is a boat ramp. We've seen elk, pronghorn and deer along with 2 ospreys that soar over the lake, dive-bombing fish. Many trails within short driving distance or hit trails connected to camp grounds. There is a small snack shop that serves meals daily and has covered eating area. Its a 11+ mile drive off of the 40, outside of Williams. Williams is your closest place for food, gas, etc.

    Beautiful trees

    Great campground. Spacious sites, friendly hosts. Hard road to drive on especially if pulling a trailer.

    It has been a literal decade since I've been here but I finally made it back, this time with a…read morehusband and toddler who were both new to the experience. Despite the long time away, this is a spot I have recommended so many times over the years to those traveling through AZ, particularly with kids. It was cool to see how the place has updated over time. We arrived shortly after opening and started with the drive thru area. Either they no longer to the guided tour through the radio or the staff forgot to mention it, but we had a fun time regardless looking for the animals in each section. The arctic wolves were the coolest part, they were all howling together, it was almost spooky. The bears themselves were less active than previous visit but it was also warmer weather, being summer. The walk through area seems greatly increased since my last visit! Several enclosures to view, a grassy area with scheduled animal talks/demos, and multiple food/drink options have been added - or at least I was less aware of them before. I grabbed coffee at a truck, they also had various alcoholic drinks for parents and snacks for kids. There's also a beer garden area, several booths with carnival-like food tempting the kids with sugary snacks, and a restaurant in the main lodge building - note that you can dine in the canyon OR they have covered outside patio seating with a view to the big cats enclosure. While we did not eat here, we did interact with several staff who were friendly and helpful about giving directions or answering questions about the animals. There are also several photo opp spots throughout, which is a nice touch. TLDR: Make time to stop here if you're driving through AZ, especially if you have kids - but even adults will enjoy a visit here.

    Took the family there while up in Munds Park for a few days. It's a MUST if you have kids, big or…read moresmall. There isn't another experience in Arizona where you can see free-roaming bears, bison, elk, wolves, deer, etc., so up close and personal, all within half a mile of each other. I guess you could go out in the woods, but I doubt the experience would end quite as well. The park is separated into two areas: the driving area and the walking area. I believe both are optional and you can do one or the other. I'd recommend doing both because they're both unique in their own ways. The driving area is a 20-30 minute slowwww drive around the park, where the animals are sectioned off in free-roaming areas. They all seem incredibly well-cared for, and are pretty accustomed to the constant flow of cars with people stopping to stare at them. In fact, in the wolf section, the wolf pack actually got up and crossed the road right in front of us. One actually stopped within a few feet of our car and just kinda hung out staring at as with a "whatcha lookin at bruh" vibe for a minute or two before scampering off. It's a little harder to see the animals in certain areas, like the black bear section. This isn't any fault of the parks - black bears blend in pretty well with trees. We still managed to see quite a few, and even saw one bear at the end jump in a little pond for a quick dip! The walking section is pretty small, but packed with really cool exhibits that let you get very close (albeit still very safe) to the animals. We were within 10 feet of an adult grizzly, which is an experience neither my kids or I will ever forget! We loved the bobcats, leopards, elks, and otters too! This place isn't some janky, questionable side of the road zoo. The park is clean, the employees were extremely friendly, and the animals looked very healthy and happy in their spacious areas. You can also tell the employees genuinely care about the animals, and are incredibly invested in educating the park guests about all the magnificent creatures. Oh, it's also very reasonably priced! Kids under 3 or 4 are free, so for my 4 year old, 2 year old, and two adults, I think the price of admission was about $60-70. Given, we went on a weekday so prices were a bit cheaper. Even still, I recall weekend pricing only being $5-10 per person more expensive. Truly a great deal for memories that are priceless! If you're in Flagstaff or the surrounding areas and are looking for a fun way to spend 2-3 hours, Bearizona is calling your name!

    I really wanted to like this place, but overall, it was disappointing and not worth the price…read more There were a few positives. The location was quiet, some of the staff were nice, and the showers were better than expected. Unfortunately, that was not enough to make up for the rest of the experience. The cabins were extremely hot, and the lack of air conditioning made it very uncomfortable. Fans helped a little, but not enough to make the stay relaxing. For the price, I expected the accommodations to be much more comfortable and better maintained. The campground itself also felt boring, especially for families with children. There was not much to do, the on-site store was overpriced, and some of the basic amenities were disappointing. The Wi-Fi was weak and unreliable, the sites felt too close together, and the nearby highway noise took away from the outdoor camping feel. Cleanliness and management also seemed to be an issue. Bathrooms and facilities should be checked and cleaned regularly, especially with the number of employees around. Instead, it felt like things were being overlooked. For a KOA, I expected better organization, better communication, and better attention to guests. The staff who were friendly deserve credit, but management needs serious improvement. At this price point, guests should not be uncomfortable, bored, dealing with poor maintenance, or feeling like basic issues are being ignored. Overall, there are a few good things here, but not enough for me to recommend it or want to stay again.

IT was so hot in the cabins, even2 fans and a breeze did not help . i personally was sick for 2 days of our trip, because it was so hot in there !!!! It is very boring here, boring here, nothing to do for children . On sire store was way over priced . The plus about this place is staff is really nice!! shout out to suzanne and Joshua - you were amazing ! it is very quiet. Highly unlikely we would stay here again, too hot in cabins , cant wait to go home ! Not worth it for the price and to be bored and hot

I stayed here for one night with my 8 yo son in August for our bi-annual camping trip…read more The only other glamping I've done and can compare to was when we went two years ago to Ventana. They are similar but have some differences that may make one better over the other for some folks. Pros: - close to GC - spacious tent with most everything you could possibly need (bathroom, lamps, chargers, etc) - awesome cafe with actually good-quality casual food Cons: - really bad wifi (which probably is the point as you're supposed to be one with nature and not be on your phone but I struggled with trying to respond to work emails that were urgent) - at one point, the roads get really bad as they are unpaved and full of stones/gravel Overall, a really good vacation though, and I can't wait to try out their other locations!

    I was disappointed with the property. Images on the website show mountain views but there are none…read morefrom the property and tent. You have to walk up to their "Zen Garden" (no plants, just chairs and a hammock on a dirt road) to see mountains beyond the back of industry. I can see the appeal of this place if you have children, but we were there to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and found the main tent too crowded. Also, I don't like spending over $500 a night and having to walk a block to get my morning coffee. The food and the service was very good. But it is overpriced for the experience.
